Hey Seniors! Are you ready for what comes next? We have compiled a few things that you need to take care of in order to move on the next level. We will meet with Seniors during English on Thursday and the Dual Credit English students next week. Here’s a preview of what we will discuss:

Picture ID may be your school issued photo id or your driver’s license.

Where: We will test in the Break Room. Remember all cell phones, tablets, smart watches etc, must be off and away during testing. You will not be able to access them until after the test is over, as per ACT rules/regulations.

What to bring: Please bring photo ID, a #2 pencil and a graphing calculator (calculators will not be provided as is customary at testing sites).

After the test: ALL testers will return to their regular schedule after lunch. Please bring the necessary supplies and/or homework for your afternoon classes.

Please check out act.org for additional questions. It would be smart to look over practice questions prior to Tuesday.

ACT has officially canceled ALL October 2nd Local tests due to a breach in security and a possible compromise of the integrity of the test. Therefore, the OCT 2nd ACT at WOHS has been rescheduled for Tuesday, Oct 16th.

Students that have paid for the test will test that day. Students will need PHOTO ID (school id or driver’s license will work) AND a graphing calculator. Calculators will not be provided for the test.

Students and parents need to research their preferred colleges to find out ACT/SAT requirements. One way to do that is to go to the admissions page on the college’s website. Sometimes this takes a little digging; other times the information is readily available. Once you figure out the required score, start planning to take a test. Register online, get a study guide and/or a tutor and begin preparing. Remember that these scores get you into a school AND help you earn scholarship money.

WOHS will offer the ACT Oct 2, 2018, and a date to be determined in Spring 2019. We are offering the ACT without the writing portion of the test. Not all schools require the writing, please research your school’s preference.

The cost is the same as a test given at a national testing site – $50.50. Checks can be made out to WOHS and cash is preferred.

PSAT – 10th & 11th grade students only

Now the PSAT. According to Prep Scholar.com-
“As it stands, the PSAT is heavily connected to the SAT. One of the test’s primary purposes is to act as a precursor to the SAT — essentially, as an SAT practice test. Thus, the PSAT and SAT heavily mirror each other in regard to content, structure, and even scoring.
